Methinks there is a significant difference between "I just read a note on the Amazon forum about one left in a car having screen damage" and two out of thirteen reviews on
BestBuy Canada's site complaining about screen damage not covered by warranty. Or three out four bad screens in my case.

I've had an Xperia Z series, so I am aware of the cracked screens issues Sony had (mine never cracked). But
Sony did stand by its product, while Kobo refuses to.
As to leaving stuff in the car, I sometimes do leave my readers in either the glove compartment or the armrest console when traveling and never had an issue. It's ludicrous to expect that a commercial product would break if left in the car nowadays.
I am puzzled why anyone would feel that they have to so vehemently defend a company which does appear to have an issue with their product (the Aura HD and possibly H2O) and refuses to stand by it. "Mine still works because I am oh so careful with it" does the OP no good and trying to find fault with the users, when there are so many cases of cracked screens, is unhelpful.
Apparently, some have rather low expectations of quality.
But those who expect more should stay away from Kobo.
